I'm already a member, having joined about 4 months ago. If I understand you correctly, you're saying that if I join, I'll be a member for about 22 more months?
I just added the membership to my cart and apparently the offer is still good. (I have yet to actually commit.)
I wonder what strategy this tells us about Fictionwise? Are they in need of an influx of capital, or is this just part of the different strategy (in a good way
) to get us hooked on buying from them?
I know that as a member for the past 4 months, I've bought just a little over 100 titles from them, as opposed to about 12 from Sony. The comparison may not be a good one, however, due to the higher prices at Sony -- ; although, come to think of it, Sony has released a number of free books lately, whereas Fictionwise typically makes available for free the yearly Nebula Award nominees in the shorter fiction categories only - and only available at a certain point in time.
Interesting....has anyone noticed a newer - heightened - level of freebies from legitimate publishers and authors? My thinking is that even the authors (as witness this site), are becoming more aggressive in the ebook marketing of their writings.
